NAME

DlpReadRecordIDList - read list of record IDs from a Palm database

LIBRARY

libpconn

SYNOPSIS

#include <palm.h>#include <pconn/pconn.h>DlpReadRecordIDList PConnection *pconn const ubyte handle const ubyte flags const uword start const uword max uword *numread udword recids[]

DESCRIPTION

reads a list of record IDs found in a database.

handle is the database handle given by DlpOpenDB .

flags specifies flags. The only flag defined so far is DLPCMD_RRIDFLAG_SORT , which says to sort the database before returning the list of record IDs.

start specifies the index of the first record to read. Use 0 to start reading at the beginning.

max specifies the maximum number of record IDs to return. The special value DLPC_RRECIDL_TOEND says to return as many entries as possible. You may find it useful to call DlpReadOpenDBInfo to find out how many records there are in the database.

numread is filled in with the number of entries actually read.

recids is filled in with record IDs.

RETURN VALUE

returns 0 if successful, or a negative value otherwise.

NOTES

The Palm may not return as many entries as you want. In the author's experience, the maximum number of entries returned at one time is around 500. To read all of the records, you might need to call inside a loop, e.g.: uword numrecs; // # of records in database uword ihave; // # of record IDs read so far udword recids[FOO]; // Array of record IDs

ihave = 0; while (ihave < numrecs) { uword num_read; // # record IDs read this time around

DlpReadRecordIDList(pconn, dbh, 0, ihave, numrecs - ihave, &num_read, recids + ihave); ihave += num_read; }
